I contend that the sum of the parts is greater than the whole if the bifurcation had not been made.

Can you please provide an example to illustrate?

AO just admit that you have no idea what the word even means - I have referred it to word of the day to help you out.

C'mom don't fall for it, it's only a typical Trevor move to create entropical chaos out of a rather simple position! Here he means that NOT ALL necessary data is provided!

A correction to the post above.

Apparantly for September we were at more than a third (33.3%), but less than 50% of the other chess forum - so still a very strong result

I credit our new young moderators and all of their hard work for the upswing!

**Just2Good** · 11-02-2009, 01:51 PM

Updated Post Per Day Statistics complied from the Admin CP, divided by number of days in month. September was a particularly good month for us (possibly best ever, definitely best for 2009)

- First Quarter (Jan-March 2009) ---	- Posts in Month -	- Post Per Day Rate-
January	794	25.61
February	752	26.85
March	1028	33.16
Total For Quarter	2574	28.54

- Second Quarter (Apr -June 2009) -	- Posts in Month -	- Post Per Day Rate-
April	502	16.73
May	871	28.09
June	677	22.56
Total For Quarter	2050	22.52

- Third Quarter (July to Sept 2009) -	- Posts in Month -	- Post Per Day Rate-
July	951	30.67
August	899	29.00
September	1285	42.83
Total For Quarter	3135	34.07

- Fourth Quarter (Oct to Dec 2009) -	- Posts in Month -	- Post Per Day Rate-
October	973	31.38
November	---	----
December	---	----
Total For Quarter	----	----

As we can see, the forum is simply continuing to grow, and grow, and grow.

By my estimate we are now, in terms of post per day, about one third to one half the size of the other Chess Forum in Oz. I wonder why that is?

[spoiler] Just kidding

, with CC moderation scaring everyone away - its really little wonder why OzChess continues to grow rapidly! [/spoiler]

What's more, our average for November (so far) is 49.6 posts per day!

**Just2Good** · 11-13-2009, 06:13 PM

Last Friday at 5:10pm I was curious to know what Chess Chat's post per day stats were, so I took the following snap shot and compared with a snap shot today. Unfortunately, I didn't make it back precisely at 5:10pm today to obtain a perfect random weekly stat report, but only about 2 hours overtime I don't think significantly affects the accuracy.

The results seem to show a dramatic decline in CC's post per day rate, and this is likely accounted for by the inactivity of the Toolbox Detox thread (which generated roughly 10-20 posts per day when they were frothing at the mouth over us

), the unecessary banning of Axiom (and loss of not only his posts, but also the related interaction he had with other posters), and lastly, the frequent bannings of antichrist.

Also, perhaps a general shift by posters from CC to OzChess due to the additional functionality, civilness, and better posters to interact with - likely also accounts for the numbers below.

475 Posts at CC over 8 days (475/8) = 59.37 posts per day on Chess Chat (Friday to Friday)

By comparison, on OzChess since last 13 November to 19 November (the stats for 20 Nov aren't in yet), we had 225 posts, (225/7) = 36.43 posts per day, roughly two thirds of Chess Chat's volume!

If this trend continues, it won't be long before OzChess completely supplants Chess Chat as Australia's most popular chess forum.

**Thomas Bishop** · 11-21-2009, 06:39 PM

Wow AO!

No response from the other place means they probably know this is true and are concerned about our popularity growth!

**Iconoclast** · 11-21-2009, 09:07 PM

I am impressed!

Actually 225/7 = 32.14
However 13th Nov till the 19th Nov is 6 days not 7.
So it is 225/6 = 37.5

My using 6 was based on same times on the days 13th- 19th November but that is wrong since in your case here on Ozchess you are counting full days via the admin stats panel so it is 7 days, not 6 days. So your posts per day figure for the 13th - 19th November is 225/7 = 32.14.

That must be most reassuring for you.

How many times have i warned you and kb , if you kill the energy ,you kill the forum ?
No doubt it is starting to dawn on you that if you sanitise too much you kill the "culture" .

Think about it.

I thought about.
And then for some reason the 29th of December 2009 popped into my thinking. <http://www.chesschat.org/showthread.php?t=2494&page=15 post #220>

And then another thought....see Moderation Rules and Decisions [shoutbox guidelines added 9 Nov - see post 227] - Page 13 - Chess Chat - Australia's Premier Chess Forum post #181 (in 2008).

Do you see the pattern Ax. Join the dots?

Not a random start date to bannings at all.
